In a retrospective review, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic declared that "12 Bar Blues is an unpredictable, carnivalesque record confirming that Weiland was the visionary behind STP's sound. He's fascinated by sound, piling on layers of shredded guitars, drum loops, and keyboards, making sure that each song sounds drastically different from its predecessor."[album r341225 yes Allmusic] review, cited September 20, 2008 David Fricke of Rolling Stone awarded the album 3.5 out of 5 stars and declared that "12 Bar Blues isn't really a rock album, or even a pop album. Weiland, out on his own, has simply made an honest album – honest in its confusion, ambition and indulgence. It was worth the risk." but also remarked that "Maybe it's a little early for Scott Weiland to be going the solo way."Rolling Stone Rolling Stone Magazine review, cited September 20, 2008 Pitchfork Media stated upon its release that "12 Bar Blues is easily the most innovative album Weiland has ever produced for public consumption,"http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/w/weiland_scott/12-bar-blues.shtml https://web.archive.org/web/20011126203325/http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/w/weiland_scott/12-bar-blues.shtml dead November 26, 2001 Scott Weiland: 12 Bar Blues: Pitchfork Review November 26, 2001 while Entertainment Weekly wrote that "the LP's sheer invention and hooks will make your indulgence worthwhile."
